NEW massively vintage eastern-bloc Hall Effect keebs

This seemed sufficiently unusual to mention:

NEW CSSR Contactless alphanumeric Hall-effect keyboard CONSUL 262 1990











What would this be—early '80s?

"Excellent unused condition: new old stock.” $135.00 + $40 shipping from Russia to US. At this posting, 2 sold, 2 available.

I believe this is Czech and not Russian. The title says CSSR, and the back of the keyboard says "ZBROJOVKA", which I think indicates Czechoslovakia also.

Very neat keyboard indeed.
Maybe they're waiting for gasmasks and latex to get sexy again.

The world has become a weird place.

Whoops, right you are, sorry. (I'd added the URL tag but not pasted in the actual URL, apparently.) Thanks for including it.

Interesting! I've changed this thread's title appropriately.

It says on the back in plain Check, "rok 90", that's year 1990. And it says so in the eBay listing title, duh.
